Challenges of Extracting and Purifying Fission-Produced Molybdenum-99

Assessment of molybdenum breakthrough levels in molybdenum-99/technetium-99m generators: One year experience at NIMRA Jamshoro Pakistan

Background: Technetium-99m radioisotope is the backbone of any nuclear medicine institute. This radioisotope is acquired by the elution of Molybdenum-99/Technetium-99m generator which emits 141 keV gamma ray and having 6.04 hour half-life. Occasionally the contents of Molybdenum-99 may mix up with elute, which may affect image quality and patients may receive higher doses than recommended. This...

Molybdenum targets produced by mechanical reshaping

Targets required to determine the parameters of the 100Mo(p,xn)99mTc reaction and to estimate the yield of the 99mTc production were prepared starting with powder material. Material, melted with electron beam gun into solid bead, was reshaped into foil mechanically. Targets were prepared by powder melting and hot flattening of the droplet followed by cold rolling. Procedure allowed preparation ...

Fission-residues Produced in the Spallation Reaction

Fission fragments from 1 A GeV U projectiles irradiating a hydrogen target were investigated by using the fragment separator FRS for magnetic selection of reaction products including ray-tracing and E-ToF techniques. The momentum spectra of identi ed fragments were analysed to provide isotopic production cross sections, ssion-fragment velocities and recoil momenta of the ssioning parent nuclei....
